An analysis of U. S. nuclear health and safety information dissemination to selected foreign countries. Topical report
The primary focus of the final report is the dissemination of nuclear safety information to regulatory officials and utility personnel in foreign countries which have imported reactors build in the United States. Six countries were selected for closer study: Mexico, Brazil, Korea, Taiwan, Spain, and Yugoslavia. Team members visited regulatory and utility officials and site representatives of the U.S. vendors and architect/engineering firms. The material obtained from those interviewed, together with the earlier results from an interim study of domestic U.S. information sources, was used to describe the nuclear safety document acquisition practices of the six countries. The adequacies and weaknesses in the present dissemination methods were identified and presented in a tabular form, together with proposed solutions to the problems thus identified. Proposals which could be relatively easily realized were identified, and others which require further study were listed separately. Finally, several major proposals were described in greater length.
